A Crown

A perfect girl

A work of art

She always looks

And plays the part

Expensive tastes

Are just the start

Next thing you know

She'll want your heart

And since her looks

Are so refined

You sign upon

The dotted line

Such beauty has to

Match her mind

And so you didn't

take the time

Some beauty is just meant to be beheld

Don't remove it from the shelf

Cause it isn't your's

Some love isn't meant to be shared by two

It hurts but it's true

That she isn't your's

And those who've felt the pain know it to be true

You can love art, but art can't love you

You're enamored with a sculpture

Who walks talks and breaths

Your pain only exists

Because you refuse to see

No amount of money

No amount of pain

Can alter that marble

She'll always be the same

Some beauty is just meant to be beheld

Don't remove it from the shelf

Cause it isn't your's

Some love isn't meant to be shared by two

It hurts but it's true

That she isn't your's

And those who've felt the pain know it to be true

You can love art, but art can't love you

And she would love you

If she could

She'd let you save her

She knows you would

But this is her world

Where she is queen

Why would she wake up

Just to live in your dreams

Don't wake the queen.
